• Notes

  I am conjecturing that this James was the son of James and Mary Watson Coate. I believe this could be true for the following reasons. 1) His father only listed 2 named children in his will and listed "other children". 2) When James and Mary Watson's daughter, Mary, is married (she also was one of the "other children" in his will), the 1st closest person in relationship to her is listed as James Coate. Her father James was deceased. There is no known James living at the time in the region that could account for him, accept if he is one of James and Mary Watson's "other children". 3) He has the right name to be a son of James and Mary. He was named after his father just as James and Mary named a daughter Mary after the mother. DNA evidence should be able to prove this one way or the other. There is also a possibility that James married an Elizabeth before 1720. In his likely sister Mary's marriage certificate, James is listed right before Elizabeth as a close relative of Mary. She could be his wife or their common sister who was still unmarried. As far as we know, however, they had 2 sisters named Elizabeth whom had died previous to 1720.
